PAC has launched two readers in the Oneprox GS3 range. The makers say that the products work in the most demanding of operating environments and combat the growing issue of token cloning.
Unauthorised cloning of access control tokens has been a constant concern in the residential and commercial markets. Programming units which are able to copy the information from an existing token to a third party token are available for purchase; and many key cutting businesses offer a token cloning service for a small fee. This makes it hard for housing providers and institutions to monitor and prevent unauthorised entry.
When used with the PAC 512 controller, the new PAC HF Vandal and HF Panel readers are certified to meet the AES-128 standard and incorporate PAC’s Oneprox Smart (Ops) technology as well as reading protocols MIFARE and DESFire EV1. PAC’s Ops reading protocol uses true 64bit encryption so that only an authentic token is used before granting access, making token cloning virtually impossible it is claimed.
The Oneprox GS3 HF Vandal and HF Panel readers allow for on-site configuration via the built-in switches to support multiple output formats. This means that there is no need for programming cards or specific readers when installing, suitable it is claimed for any residential or commercial application.
Featuring a stainless steel and polycarbonate case, the Oneprox GS3 HF Vandal Reader is NSI accredited and houses a built-in tamper switch making it suitable the maker says for vandal-prone installations in elevators, schools, car park reader posts and other unsupervised public places – indoors and out. The GS3 HF reader is designed to fit many OEM door entry panels. The two new readers join the range of Oneprox GS3 readers which include the PAC Oneprox GS3 reader – Low Frequency and PAC Oneprox GS3 reader – Multi Technology. They are now available through PAC’s dealers and distribution partners; visit www.stanleysecurityproducts.com or see the product at Housing 2015 – the Chartered Institute of Housing’s annual conference and exhibition in Manchester, from June 23 to 25.
